Three games into this franchise and I finally understand why it is beloved by so many. Halo 3 maintains the fantastic soundtrack, gunplay, variety and pacing which made the previous entry so memorable. However, improved level design, enemy design and some surprising emotional beats in the story help elevate this experience. The final levels in this game are sheer bliss and are among the best I’ve experienced in an FPS campaign. Though there is still some room for improvement with the repetitiveness of facing seemingly endless waves of enemies and the lack of engaging bosses. However, this is still an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the original master chief trilogy, excelling both in its gameplay and story.
